After more than five years of being a Debian developer, here is my first post on Planet Debian! I currently maintain 165 packages. My focus has changed since 2009, but those are still mostly sysadmin packages:

• ctdb (under the pkg-samba umbrella), the clustered database used by samba
• c-icap and c-icap-modules: a c-icap server mostly useful with squid and providing url blacklists and antivirus filtering
• pkg-php-tools: easy packaging of PHP packages (PEAR, PECL and Composer) as .deb
• 124 php-horde* (Horde) packages: A groupware and webmail, written in PHP
• 12 PHP PEAR, Composer, or PECL packages (those are Horde dependencies)
• I m mostly maintaining alone the above packages. Any help is appreciated!
• python-ceres, graphite-carbon and graphite-web: Graphite is an high performance monitoring and graphing software. Jonas Genannt is maintaining the packages well and I only do review
• 20 shinken packages : a monitoring solution, compatible with nagios configuration files and written in python. Thibault Cohen is doing most of the packaging, and I give advice
• svox: The TTS from Android (unfortunately non-free because of missing or outdated sources). This is now under the Debian Accessibility Team umbrella
• kolabadmin: this is the last remaining piece from my former pkg-kolab membership (unfortunately kolab server won t be in jessie, you can help the team for Stretch)

Now that the first post is online, I will try to keep up!

Also this year the Debian project was present at Chemnitzer Linuxtage, this time right next the debianforum.de booth. The booth folks arriving on friday organized a flashmob at Expitas after booth setup. Unfortunatly our second planned flashmob at the mensa was boycotted by much more students, so we ended up in the Turm-Brauhaus, which is a great location with good drinks but the service was very harshly. On the next two days at the booth we chatted and discussed with visitors and other exhibitors a wide variety of questions, including 'When will be (the next Debian version) released?' and 'Are there installation disks available?'. The answers was as always 'When we are ready and we will have reached the quality-level we defined', 'No we don't have installation medias, as they are always outdated. Do you have an USB-dongle with you?'. Merchandising was requested by visitors as always, but we just had some leftovers of fosdem, brought by Axel. The demonstration was as usual a small box running Babelbox and xpenguins which worked out the last years too. This year there were three lectures held by Debian related people, about Debian GIS, Aptitude - known but even unknown and SSH and unreliable network connections. The organisation team did a really great job. The social event at saturday night was very exciting and we left it early in the morning. The whole event was indeed fun and a pleasure to find new friends and meet old ones of the Free Software community. Many thanks to Florian Baumann, Jan Dittberner, Andreas Tille, Christian Hoffmann, Axel Beckert, Markus Rekkenbeil, Daniel Schier, Jonas Genannt, Jan H rsch and kurio for taking care and running the booth, which worked out this year extreme smoothly from my point of view. Likewise as the last years a special thanks to TMT GmbH & Co. KG, which kindly donated additional boothtickets, the equipment, its transportation and accommodation for almost half of the booth staff.
